of investors. this is a great opportunity for us to to learn how to sell our project to to people our passion yes that is. that is why i am here and that's what hoping to get here there are 12 startups at the forum from a service provider in the field of artificial intelligence to a platform that produces content specifically for women in central america the workshops deal with financing corporate strategy and management also how to best present your own idea something many founders find difficult. their motto loiter position and lots of intelligent people find solutions to problems but that also makes them a bit blind to the matter they have a high level of expertise for the core of what they're doing but forget that many others around them don't have these insights undertone home quality mystifying to heart insights are not in short supply at the forum. and neither are contacts
7:21 pm
from all over the world. moses is from after link it supports african startups and some way is at the form she's head of the world wide web foundation thank you to both of you for joining us but as a starting with you are african startups getting it right the fight against fake issues yes i would say africans that chile advocates in full true news and innocence is also making it possible for them to eradicate feet and it's one thing that if you look at the civil society people are actually using the use of technology to actually tell people that this is not right this is fake and i would say that this has actually transformed also the ultimate of offical because one of the things that normally used to happen is that there were always the negative stories about africa and now everyone finds the us a must to actually tell the true story and so fighting fake news is the most important thing they have to do to make sure that they sell off clinton and right
7:22 pm
by getting a lot more good news stories as well let me ask you about mach zakat he's been faced with the biggest fight against fake news he wants to bring the internet to more parts of africa or rather his social media network what's the problem with that. well the problem with the approach that they're taking is that it's not often steeped in engaging with those people who are experts on the ground if you will so it's a very westernized idea to just and perception. even bringing in a new technological solution will fit within a content continent that's very diverse so hit him and his team have a lot of the what cut out for them and better understanding the community they say they're trying to serve and that are engaging them actively and not just after the fact i favor would be interesting to see if we get an african facebook jumping up instead of fighting off facebook itself how do you start ups moser's fighting fake news existing countries there where there's no perswaded so one of the things that
7:23 pm
we've seen is that officially and all we've been going to start ups are just with the civil society everyone feels they're responsible of course there are tools like the what's the tweet instagram and what is happening is that as part of the responsibility what they do is to curb these signals that normally would spread elise i would say one thing that i have seen as myself being in some of the groups you would see that someone would send something that is fake and immediately another person in the community would say does is not right coming to the start of the using the technology for instance official intelligence to be able to identify that ok this trend in news is actually not true and so what they do then is to block some of these informations that normally not i would say part of the trend in media stuff and then push it out and say hey this is actually not the rights news and i would say that using traditional means in terms of communicating with each other using also appropriate tools like what's up and twitter is actually helping
7:24 pm
to really have done this they used. question to you the biggest global tech groups enjoy monopolies is there room for african startups all of that of on that level on that level of the big tech groups like facebook. well i think any african startups trying to serve the african market mustn't always be measured by the silicon valley or western domination ideal so you know there have been about a decade or so of attempts to actually create solutions technological solutions situated in all contexts and of course a number of factors will have to tell us all the time if they will actually be successful however we do have to celebrate those trying against very interesting odds and do not enjoy the market benefits of the network effects of monopolies and are still trying to create alternatives and at this moment but especially that impact to the novel is being questioned there really is a new opportunity arising as people will soon be seeking alternatives that respect
